Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 196,410, dated October 23, 1877; application led October 3, 1877.

To all whom it 'may concern:

Be it known that we, EDWIN B. WRITING and FREDERICK E. DAUM, of Orange, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Hat-Pouncing Machines, which improve' ment is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation, and Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the machine.

The object Vof our invention is to reduce the complica-tion and expense of producing the vibratory motion of a hat-pouncing machine.

This we do by means of an upright shaft or cylinder, A, on the top of which, and coming above a table, B, is a po1mcing-block,C. This shaft is cut with a spiral groove, D, and in this groove is iitted to work a roller-pin, f, attached to a head-block, G. This block slides in the ways H, and is moved perpendicularly by the pitman I, connected by the crank-pin K to the ydriving-wheel P. Thus the rcvolution ofthe wheel, moving` the slide up and down, causes the pin f to traverse the length to move in the groove, 'giving a reciprocating motion to the pouncing-block; therefore,

What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The shaft A, having the spiral groove D, in combination with the hat-block O and moving pin j', substantially as and for the purpose specified.
